I get it too. I've also had an issue with a few posts (long) where the start of my submission gets deleted, and I have to go back and edit in what was lost.

It appears to be a gatekeeper to check the IP of incoming connections.

Our DDoS Detector (Cloudflare, obviously), has noticed an unusual uptick in suspicious connections, so they're running a higher alert filter on FTE.

Good to know it wasn't just me. I added a second layer to my tinfoil hat today, just in case.

I don't mind the message if they'd only re-direct me back to where I was instead of at the top of the forum !!! Turn that thing OFF !!

It has really killed the mobile app. I can’t get in using it, the wheel just keeps spinning 20 minutes later.

We stopped supporting the app a few years ago, so this filter isn't the only thing that's killing it.
